Abstract
A pair of pliers includes two handles each have a hole defined in an end thereof and a pin is received in the two holes to connect the two handles. A connection port is connected to the end of each of the two handles and two jaws are pivotably connected to the two connection ports respectively. The jaws are able to be pivoted an angle relative to the handles so as to access an object in a narrow space.
Description
- The present invention relates to a pair of pliers which has two jaws and each jaw is pivotably connected to the handles so as to be positioned at desired angle.
- A conventional pair of
pliers 10 is shown in FIG. 1 and generally includes twohandles 14 which are pivotably connected with each other at an end, and twojaws 12 respectively extend from the twohandles 14. The twojaws 12 are located at the same plane as thehandles 14 so that when the pliers is used in a narrow space as shown in FIG. 1, thehandles 14 are jammed or stocked by objects beside the screw that thejaws 12 are to be accessed. Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, in order to improve the inconvenience, thehandles 16 are made to be operated at a plane that is different from the plane where thejaws 15. This type of pliers has long handles so that they can be made as angled handles and are convenient to be use. The long handles limit the space that the pliers can be rotatably used. - The present invention intends to provide pliers that has pivotable jaws so that the pliers can be set at a specific angle to access an object that is located in a narrow space.
- In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pair of pliers which comprises two handles each have a hole defined in an end thereof and a pin is received in the two holes. A connection port is connected to the end of each of the two handles so as to respectively and pivotably connect two jaws.
- The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a conventional pliers are jammed by objects beside the screw to be accessed;
- FIGS.2 to 4 show different types of conventional pliers;
- FIG. 5 is an exploded view to show the pliers of the present invention;
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view to show the pliers of the present invention;
- FIG. 7 shows the jaws are pivoted to access a screw;
- FIG. 8 is an exploded view to show another embodiment of the pliers of the present invention;
- FIGS. 9 and 10 show the engagement of a bead and one of the notches of the jaws at two positions of the jaws;
- FIG. 11 is a perspective view to show that the each jaw of the pliers has two sections;
- FIG. 12 is a plane view to show the pliers as shown in FIG. 11;
- FIGS. 13 and 14 show the sections of the jaws of the pliers as shown in FIG. 11 are pivoted.
- Referring to FIGS.5 to 7, the pliers of the present invention comprises a two
handles hole 221/222 defined in an end thereof and apin 23 is received in the twoholes handles connection port 241/242 is connected to the end of each of the twohandles connection port 241/242 includes twolugs lug 251/252 has ahole 271/272 defined therethrough. - Two
jaws protrusion 321/322 which is pivotably connected between the twolugs 251/252 corresponding to theprotrusion 321/322 by extending ascrew 41 through theholes lugs holes protrusions nut 42. - The two
jaws handles handles jaws - Referring to FIGS.8 to 10, each
protrusion 321/322 has a plurality ofnotches 341/342 defined in an outside thereof and eachhandle 211/212 has arecess 281 defined therein in which abead 292 and aspring 291 are received. Thebead 292 is engaged with one of thenotches 341/342 in the protrusion corresponding thereto. The engagement of thebeads 292 and thenotches 341/342 ensures the position of thejaws - FIGS.11 to 14 show that each jaw includes two
sections 301′, 301″/302′, 302″ which are pivotably connected with each other by the same structure as the connection between the jaws and the handles illustrated in FIG. 5 or 8. The twosections 301′, 301″/302′, 302″ can be pivoted independently from each other such that the jaws are used in different ways. - While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
